There was a group of black men and a woman harassing me to speak to them and kept beckoning me to go up to them. I ignored them but they kept yelling the whole time that I made the round of the park until I go in my car. And when my family stepped out of the church, then they started yelling and harassing them too. They were yelling things like that I shouldn't be going to church if I don't want to speak to them. It was very unsettling. There should be more police presence in these tourist areas to make sure that people are not being harassed. If it was that unsettling in the middle of the day, I could only imagine at night.

We walked through Cathedral Square on our way to check out the Cathedral of the Immaculate…read moreConception. Cathedral Square is a municipal park - It is bordered by the streets of North Claiborne, Dauphin, North Jackson, and Conti. A little history, This space, at one time, was Campo Santo - which was Mobile's Catholic cemetery (18th Century). The area that is now Cathedral Square quickly became a commercial block filled with buildings after the relocation of the cemetery. The buildings were then demolished in 1979 to create a public park facing the Cathedral. The current park and layout have been here for some time now. There were a few people here, as it was starting to warm up quite a bit and it didn't take too long to get pretty hot (really humid). But if you are going to check out the Cathedral - then this is a nice little green space to see it from and get some pretty cool pictures of the Cathedral.

We have been wanting to try flying Creek nature preserve for sometime and decided to do it today. There's plenty of shade and while it's hot, it was very nice walking through the woods. Our dog enjoyed the walk also. Her nose was working overtime with all the new smells in the area. The trails are well-maintained and there are bathrooms along one of the trails as well as a very nice pavilion. The trails reminded me of our time in Huntsville in the hiking. We did up there. I highly recommend flying creek nature preserve for a very nice walk in the woods.

This park has a very small beach, but if you want a larger beach, just walk north to the park on the other side of The Fairhope Municipal Pier, that is Fairhope Municipal Beach, that park has BBQ's near picnic tables, restrooms,and a playground on the beach. This park has benches and tables, trees, a rock area under a oak tree. This park is two levels, an upper and lower, I did not see the upper level, only the bottom level closer to the water. My dog really enjoyed it, I saw other people out very early, walking, exercising, & with their doggies. This is a very clean park, no vagrancy, litter, doggy doo anywhere. Parking is right next to South Beach Park at Fairhope Municipal Pier.

You can visit this park and the other three in a single day because these parks are right next to one another. This park is on a hill, and one part of the park is a small Long Leaf Pine Forest, the other part a park with a memorial, veterans fountain, and benches atop a hill overlooking Mobile Bay. I did see one or two cars parked along the park for free, and I did not see any no parking signs, but I think most people that visit either park at Fairhope Municipal Pier or at Fairhope Municipal Beach at the bottom of the hill. There are no restrooms or playground (s) at this park, it is more devoted to nature, but restrooms, BBQs, and picnic tables are available downhill at Fairhope Municipal Beach. Most of the people I saw at or around the park were walking for exercise or walking thier dogs, like myself. Quiet and beautiful.
